Description

"The Fight for Asian American Civil Rights expands our understanding of civil rights by illuminating the contribution of liberal white leadership to Asian American equality."--Jon Thares Davidann, author of Cultural Diplomacy in U.S.-Japanese Relations, 1919–1941
 
"YMCA officials with experience as Protestant missionaries in Japan led the defense of Asian Americans in the first half of the twentieth century. Griffith illuminates several decades of anti-racist organizing and writing by a dynamic group of Y leaders, culminating in the group's climactic and courageous defense of Japanese Americans during World War II. This is a substantial research achievement that broadens our understanding of ecumenical Protestantism and of the history of civil rights."--David A. Hollinger, author of After Cloven Tongues of Fire: Protestant Liberalism in Modern American History
